Delta227

Well, After reading most of the post here and enjoying all the works in progress. I figured I should share my work bench also. So here we go... I have a FM Sci Fi Models 1/24 BSG MKII Viper with full lighting. I had started this kit back in 2010 and had to moved it was packed away all this time. I just had to pull it out after seeing a build completed on another site. Also, I have a AMT 1/72 Beast a Valkyrie XB-70 with a full PE set . I spent alittle time on a cockpit with adding seat belts and other detail to the seats. The funny part is you wont see a thing when the model is closed and finish... my bigest problem will be trying to find decals being I have an old kit the decals yellowed... Hope you enjoy! Delta227

Awesome... Looking forward to seeing your progress. Alex

Check out culttvman... They are in the know about up comming moebius kits and have great prices..

Any more on progress on the arm? Delta227

Thanks guys I think I will go with tamiya USAF light grey not to white and barely grey. As for the arm one of the members here is creating one I hope he will offer it to the members... Check here http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40286#entry1095546 I'm waiting because if I can get one I can build my kit wheels up if not ill have to think of something creative.. or do wheels down and flaps extended maybe.... Delta227

Congratulations vincemoto1 on the new one.. I will start mine when I'm done with another project I'm working on.. what I'm thinking about right now is what color I want to use as over all color .. I don't want to use pure white...what do you guys plan to use as a base color? Otherwise I'm waiting on one of those arms to start building my strike. Delta227

Yikes! They were a great source.. I would poke my nose around hlj forum and put a feeler out there for what you are looking for.. worst thing is someone says no.. chances are someone may help... Happy hunting

Vincemoto7 anyone has any advice on working with photo etched parts, I'd love to hear it. Pe can be tricky the first time around but you will get the hang of it quickly.. There are a few other things you can use that are cheap and work well... Everything mention by Petra B I agree with. You also have one more option to bend pe. Try two old fashion type blades.. one to hold down the part slid the other one under the part and fold the part.. Also, if you use a blade to remove parts from a runner .. make sure you cut the parts on glass or some other hard surface so you don't damage parts . And If your like me I loose part a lot lol.. Try and tape over the small part you plan to cut out.. this will prevent the loss of your part.. as for prep .. I prime but I don't think its necessary all the time... Enjoy the build... Sorry to go off topic

+1 Hlj they are great at getting parts

Looking good cant wait to see the finished product! Delta227

Thanks waiting on my Pe set now.. I already pulled the trigger on this and happy to hear it wasn't a wate of time ordering the set .. keep us informed of your findings on the assembly of the PE set Delta227

Just curious... would the photo etched set for the vf-1 be compatible with the new strike kit? I would think so but want to make sure before I pull the trigger......

Woke up to the door bell and a box on my step.. a huge box.. one VF-1S/A strike 1:48 and photo etching for my YF-19 1:48. another Great day indeed..

Guess I can wait till I get one of your arms before I start building .... Great solution to the mounting issue. A.King

IM new to the forum and happy to find other builders here.. Great work on the arm you can count me in for one. A.King
